Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) — Question 45

The BEST key performance indicator (KPI) to measure the effectiveness of a backup process would be the number of:

Answer options

• A. backup recovery requests.
• B. resources to monitor backups.
• C. restoration monitoring reports.
• D. recurring restore failures.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because recurring restore failures directly indicate how often backups are failing when needed, which is a clear measure of backup process effectiveness. The other options, while related to backups, do not directly reflect the success or failure of the restoration process itself.
